    The Black Panthers were broadly dismissed as racist, gun-toting militants decades ago. Some admirers say they were a harbinger of identity politics who helped shape progressivism and were influential forebears of Black Lives Matter. (Edits verb)http://apne.ws/zebhXtr

        Like it or not, the Black Panther Party was born out of necessity. If people had been able to just act right, the Party never would have formed.

        So you deleted the last tweet calling the BPP racist and then put up another one saying “they USED to be called racist” as the main frame. ??? It’s not even a good representation of the article

        This reads like either the social media team at AP or an editor overseeing it is very concerned with framing the BPP as a racist organization

        To be clear, the FBI murdered Fred Hampton because he was able to unite the Puerto Ricans, Hillbillies, and the Black Panthers under the Rainbow Coalition to fight for economic freedom for poor people. They also ran a continuous smear campaign against the org via the media 👀👀.

        There are a lot of rich people in this country who continue to make lots of money exploiting the racial tensions that exist. Fred Hampton’s brilliance was that he approached other groups fully acknowledging those tensions, but convinced them that we were stronger working together
